Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Purse Bingo event to return with a night of purses, prizes and purpose (sandiegouniontribune.com) — A popular Purse Bingo fundraiser is returning Oct. 13 to the Encinitas Community Center, offering designer purses, auctions, raffles, and a new Golden Ticket twist. Hosted by Coastal Encinitas Rotary, the night raises money for local nonprofits supporting women, children, and families across San Diego County. Early-bird tickets are $75 through Sept. 30, then $85.
2. Pet of the week: German Shepherd looking for a hiking buddy (sandiegouniontribune.com) — If you're looking for a four-legged hiking buddy near Encinitas, Chase the German Shepherd mix is available for adoption through the San Diego Humane Society's El Cajon campus. The piece also highlights several nearby shelters, including Rancho Coastal Humane Society on Requeza Street in Encinitas, with contact details and hours so you can explore more local adoption options.
3. Starbucks Closing 64 California Locations: Full List of Stores (news-usa.today) — One of the 64 California Starbucks locations expected to close is on Leucadia Boulevard in Encinitas, meaning regulars there may soon find locked doors and closure signs. Crowdsourced tracking of the Starbucks app suggests these shutdowns are part of a broader corporate strategy to trim underperforming stores. Customers are urged to check their local shop this weekend for official notices.
4. It's official: Coronado is the newest addition to San Diego Community Power – San Diego Union-Tribune (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Encinitas residents already getting electricity through San Diego Community Power will soon see Coronado added as the program's newest member, slightly expanding the customer base but not changing existing accounts. The community choice program aims to offer higher renewable energy content than SDG&E, with three pricing tiers. Customers can still opt out and remain with SDG&E if they prefer.
